Shopping for natural/organic products can sometimes be a challenge. Some companies may claim to be "all natural" even though they really aren't. This is especially true when it comes to beauty and personal care products. So how the heck do you know what you should buy? Green 4 Your Soul has taken the guesswork out of beauty shopping for you!

"Green 4 Your Soul clients will benefit from our staff’s exhaustive research and testing of every product we carry. We’re committed to providing clients with the safest and highest quality organic and natural products on the market. Green 4 Your Soul has a full disclosure policy and lists all ingredients for each product carried so clients can make informed purchasing decisions. All product lines carried by Green 4 Your Soul are required to meet our strict standards. We will not represent any products that are tested on animals, smell unpleasant, contain harmful ingredients or simply don’t work. You won’t find any hippy dippy Patchouli scented products here! For every product you see on our website there are many more that just didn’t make the grade. Green 4 Your Soul is a one-stop shop for all of your green needs."

What I really like about this site is all the information they list for each product. Each item page contains several tabs: features, Green 411 and Ingredients. First of all, I cannot stress enough how helpful it is to have all the ingredients listed here for you. It makes it very easy to compare items and pick the one that you think is best for you. On the features tab you find information on the company like what kind of packaging they use, if they are USA based, etc. Finally on the Green 411 tab you are given very useful green tips about dangers of chemicals. Green 4 Your Soul has a wide selection of products from bath & body to cosmetics to hair care and even products for babies and children.

One of the many lines of products that you will find on Green 4 Your Soul is Noli n Nali:

"Noli n Nali intends to be a leader in the organic skin care industry. We believe that healthy skin and a healthy planet are related. This philosophy is reflected in every decision we make and demonstrates an ongoing commitment to sing only the purest ingredients, supporting what the body already knows how to do best: keep itself healthy! Kenda Willow Haines, President, fashioned her passion for a healthy body, mind and heart into her mother/child organic skin care company: Noli n Nali. Ignited by the spark of new motherhood and building on her expertise in holistic health, fitness, and nutrition, Kenda created a line of personal care products designed to delight children and the mothers who care for them."

I was sent the Noli n Nali Forest Potion Baby Lotion to test out. Now since my baby isn't here yet (soon!) I used the lotion on both myself and one of my 2.5 year old twins. The first thing I noticed about it was the texture. It is so light and airy and goes on very smoothly. I personally do not like thick lotions or creams so I really liked this. The scent is also very pleasant. I can't quite describe what it is, it is definitely different, but not overwhelming at all. I also really liked the type of pump bottle it was in. Very easy to dispense while trying to tackle a toddler. Noli n Nali also makes other items for both mom and child like a belly butter and baby shampoo. They would make perfect baby shower gifts!
